It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
An attack on civilization occurred this week. A defenseless Library in Chetek, WI was attacked.
A Library was destroyed! Who in the world would want to destroy a Library???
According the the Chetek Alert...
A written statement from Chetek Police Chief Mark Petersen, the department was first notified of a possible burglary at Jennings Law Office...
There was a substantial amount of criminal damage to the interior of the office, as well as equipment.
A law office we can at least understand being vandalised, we've all been mad at an attorney at one time or another.
But a Library? The extent of the damage was enormous...
Books are strewn everywhere. Computers are toppled, as is the library's copy machine. The scanner used to check out books is smashed. Large shelving units have been destroyed. Feces are smeared on computer equipment, books, countertops and just about every other surface.
That is right, feces was smeared on computers, books, countertops and just about every other surface. Whoever did this really has some issues?
What makes this story even stranger is ...
This is the seventh time the library has been vandalized in the past year. Previously, the building had been broken into three times in July and three times in August 2007, but the damage was not nearly as extensive as this latest episode.
Library Director Carol Burnham stated...
"I don't understand why someone would do something like this. You start to feel like you did something wrong."
The Library remains closed to clean up.
The Academy of Local Politics authorises Libraries across the country to fly their flag at half staff today and Friday.
